My guess is that Pico’s venting about his trauma in this.

the shooting going on in the background tho

Nene’s face in the thumbnail looks genuinely adorable

My favorite part of this game was when Samurai Asshole cut off Nene's hand before facing her and saying:

"No, Nene. I AM your ancestor."

Truly the most heartbreaking plot twist of all time. I couldn't stop crying since I heard those words. Thank you, Kolumbo, for this masterpiece of a game. I hope S'Asshole returns in Pico 5: The World Explodes And Everyone Dies.

okay this game is actually good

kinda wish it was longer though

I love Nene's mechanic so much; nice reference to her immortality

This gave me an idea: if Nene becomes playable in FNF, this could work as game over music.

"I know you're mad-"

*Nene and Darnell literally exploding*

The comment below gave me an idea...

Since Weekend 1's out and we've been able to see Nene in action, I can't help but wonder if Nene's so merciless in FNF because of PTSD and pent-up frustrations. She was around to witness all the blood and death in Pico's School (plus her own game, but that's another can of worms), not to mention also being in Newgrounds Rumble. With that in mind, on top of her issues, Pico seems to be the only other person who understands her pain, as he's been there with her for both games. Darnell, in contrast, wasn't, hence why he seemed more easier on Pico than Nene. As for why Nene was ready to kill Pico, it's probably because she knew the hit on BF would pay them a lot of money, and she wanted to let Pico know that, once she's got her eyes on something, she's not tearing it away; it's the same reason she decided to square up and learn how to fight for herself in later installments.

TLDR; Nene is a very nasty individual when she feels she's been wronged. Nene is someone who overreacts over the slightest of mistakes. But Nene is still a girl who had to lose innocence. She started out as a helpless girl who was too scared to continue on with life, but later realized she was much more than that. She's a human with plenty of mistakes, and that can be applied to anyone, including ourselves.

Made this description up for Sariel in case she returns in the windows era:

“Sariel

Angel of Death

Species: Angel
Abilities: Manipulation of death, soul transfer
Age: Old as time itself
Occupation: Mistress of the Fallen Temple and Ruins of Vina
Location: Makai and Heaven

Sariel is one of the two final bosses of Highly Responsive to Prayers. Unlike Konngara, Sariel has a second form, which Reimu struggled to overcome. Despite living in Makai, Sariel is actually not one of Shinki’s creations. Rather, the two are sisters, having moved to Makai shortly after Shinki created the realm. Sariel is also the mother of Elis, the father being a yet unnamed vampire.”

Btw this is pretty, nice use of the Undertale save point

Actually now that you mention the "Evil Eye" thing, I looked on YuugenMagan's page on the Touhou wiki, and in the origin section it mentions this:

"The Judaic angel of death, Sariel, is associated with evil eyes and is said to be able to ward them off. Due to the appearance of Sariel in the game and Makai itself containing numerous references to Abrahamic imagery, YuugenMagan is most likely based off of the Jewish concept of evil eyes."

Makes me wonder if Yuugen and Sariel are enemies. They also have similar health bars, so that's likely the case.
